Failure rates of Australian middle-order batsmen since 2014 in Tests: Mitchell Marsh (40%), Michael Clarke (55%), Shaun Marsh (57%), Shane Watson (67%) and Brad Haddin (85%). When it comes to cumulative failure rate, only the West Indian middle-order has fared worse than Australia in this time-frame.

Only Steve Smith (10%) has a lower batting failure rate than Mominul Haque (11%) in the last one year in Tests.

In Ashes Tests since 2000, James Anderson is the third-lowest impact pacer for England after Steve Harmison and Ben Stokes (Min: 5 Tests). Anderson has been lower impact than the likes of Tim Bresnan, Simon Jones, Andrew Caddick, Andrew Flintoff and Matthew Hoggard in this time-frame.

Since 2000, England's lowest impact specialist batsman at Birmingham is Michael Vaughan followed by Ian Bell (Min: 5 Tests). Bell has a failure rate of 60% in the five Tests he has played there. England's highest impact batsmen at the venue in this time-frame are Kevin Pietersen, Marcus Trescothick and Alastair Cook.

Dwayne Bravo produced a tournament-defining performance (TD) for Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League. Bravo now has four TDs in his T20 career. It has been previously achieved by only two West Indians- Kieron Pollard (5) & Dwayne Smith (4).

The highest impact batsmen in the ongoing ODI series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan are Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik and Ahmed Shehzad whereas the highest impact bowlers are Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Shah and Imad Wasim. The fact that all six of them are Pakistanis signifies Pakistan's dominance in the series.

Apart from Brad Haddin, Michael Carberry was the only other batsman to have a 0% failure rate (a Batting Impact of less than 1 in a game constitutes as a failure) in the last Ashes in Australia. Carberry never played a Test after that.

Since taking over the mantle of Pakistan's ODI captaincy, Azhar Ali has been the second-most consistent batsman in the world after Soumya Sarkar and has failed in only one of the nine ODIs with the bat.

No Pakistani player has ever given a series-defining performance in ODIs in Sri Lanka. Saleem Malik is the highest impact batsman while Abdul Qadir the highest impact bowler for Pakistan in ODIs in Sri Lanka.

Ten Australian players had a Match Impact of more than 1 (minimum for a performance to not be considered a failure) in the 2nd Test at Lord's. England, in comparison, had only six such players. The only Australian to miss out was Adam Voges.
